| Check out Steve Benen's post questioning George Will's accuracy. I don't really want to jump on the attack, though. Yes, Will's column on global warming was worse than shoddy, and it looks like Will's ego prevented at least one other correction of a column, but in general Will is one of the better columnists.
But why do we trust columnists? Bloggers -- at least the good ones -- link to the information or data that support their arguments. Objectively that makes blogs more trustworthy than print columns. (Yet, still, I wouldn't trust a blogger further than I could throw her.) What guarantee do we have that a syndecated columnist doesn't invent facts to support predetermined political bias?
Like Steve Benen noted, a correction for Will's column has yet to appear. |
